If you are looking for a cost effective way to ensure that your dentures remain stable you should consider having mini dental implants placed into your gums. The procedure is minimally invasive and a lot more affordable than regular implants. These implants are designed to be used in order to stabilize and retain your dentures at the bottom of your mouth.
What Are Benefits of Mini Dental Implants For Denture Wearers?
- The implants will not require an incision into your gum area
- The cost is far less than normal implants
- Can be done within two hours
How Do Mini Dental Implants Stabilize the Lower Denture?
- A metal cap will be placed into the bottom part of your lower denture
- A ring made out of rubber is placed inside the metal cap which provides a seal to ensure the pieces are kept intact
- Titanium mini implants are then rooted into your jawbone and these are the anchors that are place in order to stabilize your denture
How is the Mini Dental Implant Procedure Done?
You will have the implants done in the regular dental chair at Island Dental Associates. Local anesthesia will be used to numb your jawbone area. In most cases you can have the implants done within one consultation. The procedure works by the dentist using a technique that will place the diameter of the the tiny implants into the jawbone.
The heads of the implants are ball shaped and will protrude from your gums and this is what creates the anchor for your denture to fit your mouth in a stable way. The rubber rings are then placed into the metal caps. The rubber then goes over the ball and locks your denture into place without creating pressure on your gums.
